Home the same day after a knee replacement?

For many patients, that's now possible.

Advances in robotic-assisted knee replacement, improved pain management, and getting patients up and walking the day of surgery have changed what recovery can look like. While not everyone is a candidate for outpatient surgery, many people are surprised to learn they can recover in the comfort of their own home.

If you've been putting off knee replacement because you think recovery will be long or require a hospital stay, it may be worth learning how much has changed.

For years, many patients were told hip replacements last 15–20 years.

Modern implants have changed that conversation.

Watch to see what the latest research shows.

Many patients assume that getting a hip replacement means giving up an active lifestyle. Fortunately, that's often not the case.

Activities such as walking, hiking, cycling, swimming, golf, and strength training are generally well tolerated after hip replacement.

For higher-impact activities like running, jumping, and heavy lifting, the picture is less clear. Today's implants use significantly more durable materials, and the results we have so far are encouraging. However, because these materials haven't been around for several decades, we don't yet have definitive long-term data on their performance under higher-impact demands.

The goal is not to limit activity unnecessarily, but to help patients make informed decisions based on the best evidence availablr. What activities would you like to return to after hip replacement?

A little time to explore Nashville after the Anterior Hip Foundation meeting. Broadway was packed for CMA Fest, the live music was everywhere, and I finally got to try Nashville hot chicken.

Great city. Great energy. Great food.

This weekend I'm attending the 2026 Anterior Hip Foundation Meeting, where surgeons from around the country come together to discuss the latest research, techniques, and innovations in hip replacement surgery.
One of the things I love about medicine is that learning never stops. These meetings are an opportunity to challenge our assumptions, learn from one another, and continue refining how we care for patients.
Looking forward to a great few days and bringing those lessons back to my patients here in Connecticut.

Hip pain with walking, stiffness getting out of a chair, groin pain, or bone-on-bone arthritis? Many people ask what is replaced during hip replacement surgery. In this video I show how the damaged femoral head is replaced and the worn socket is resurfaced to help restore smoother motion and relieve pain.
If hip arthritis is limiting your life, there are treatment options available.
